Hillary Campaign Co-Chair: Top Officials Will Stay, But There May Be Shake-Up
Hillary campaign co-chair Terry McAuliffe goes on MSNBC, seems to declare that the campaign's top officials will stay aboard in some capacity: "Everyone who is in the campaign today will be in the campaign," he says.
But he does say that the campaign will be bringing in more people, and won't say whether they'll be the new bosses, suggesting a possible shake-up is on the way...

Frog Leg wrote on January 8, 2008 6:15 PM:Chris Matthews on MSNBC opened the primary coverage by saying that they could not give any results until the polls close, but that "it will be a short night for the Democrats." Olbermann chimed in with this comment, and they both looked like they knew what is going to happen, and they were going to burst at the seams by keeping it in until 8. It all points to an even larger blowout than some have predicted.

I was never a Howard Dean fan based on my experiences with him in VT. But he's been 1000 times better than McAuliffe.
Clinton I, Clinton II, McAuliffe, Penn, Begala -- they are bland, uninspiring, and defeatist. I am so glad we're moving past them.
Disclosure: I'm an obama supporter, but my feelings on McAuliffe pre-date this election.
Gnopple wrote on January 8, 2008 6:39 PM:Ok, I take back what I said about Clinton I. He was definitely inspiring. It was most of the hangers-on that I couldn't stand. McAuliffe and Begala...I mean, really? Guh.

It is as if it has yet to sink in, 'that the performance of incumbants in both parties is held in higher esteem by the incumbants than that of the voters.'
This is not a campaign where the US is having new highs on the DOW, record employment, and a housing boom. There instead is a war, a run away budget, a lack of an energy policy, and 100$ a barrel oil.
Given the reality the message of both hope and change trumped 'experience and tears.'
I don't dislike Clinton, but hope she has her poker face ready so she doesn't become damaged goods as a result of this campaign. I also do give her credit for asvocating health care as early as she did, but I think that this campaign is as much about a change, in as much as trust in government is at a low, no WMD, eavesdropping, torture, mis-managed execution of a war in Afghanastan, Iraq, and Osama still on the losse.. I mean honestly, if Clinton hadn't played enabler to these activities, I think her claim for change would ring truer.
I think the establishment 'just doesn't get it' and that includes the MSM who is being really high lighted as well, I mean they have a credibility issue as well and a vested interest in perpetuating some ideas and policies that didn't turn out all that well.
Keith Olbermann's stock is up, Hannity and O'Reilly's is down.
Establishment and Incumbant's stock is down as well as the DOW
Now wonder there is a trend to dump the establishment darling as evident in the trends of polling, the public is tuning out and distrusts the message of the establishment.
